Well I saw the thing coming out of the sky
It had one long horn and one big eye
I commenced to shaking and
I said oo-whee
It looks like a purple eater to me
It was a one-eyed one-horned
Flying purple people eater
(One-eyed one-horned
Flying purple people eater)
A one-eyed one-horned
Flying purple people eater
Sure looked strange to me
(One eye?)
Well he came down to Earth
And he sat in a treeI said Mr Purple People Eater don’t eat me
I heard him say in a voice so gruff
“I wouldn’t eat you ‘cause you’re so tough
“It was a one-eyed one-horned
Flying purple people eater
One-eyed one-horned
Flying purple people eater
One-eyed one-horned
Flying purple people eater
Sure looked strange to me(One horn?)
I said Mr Purple People Eater
What’s your line?He said it’s eating purple people
And it sure is fine
But that’s not the reason that I came to land
“I wanna get a job in a rock and roll band!”
Well bless-my-soul rock-‘n’-roll
Flying purple people eater
Pigeon-toed undergrowed
Flying purple people eater
(We wear short shorts)
Friendly little people eater
Sure looks strange to me
(Whoo!)
And then he swung from the tree
And he sat on the ground
He started to rock, really rocking around
It was a crazy ditty with a swinging tune
“Sing a bop-a-bap-a-boop-a-lap-a-bim-bam-boom”
Well bless-my-soul rock-‘n’-roll
Flying purple people eater
Pigeon-toed undergrowed
Flying purple people eater
“I like short shorts”
Flying purple people eater
Quite a sight to see!
(Purple people?)
And then he went on his way,
And then what do you know
I saw him last night on a TV show
He was blowing it out,Really knocking them dead
Playing rock ‘n’ roll music
Through the horn in his head !!!
